New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D) said on Sunday that there would be "more than enough" votes to prevent a bipartisan infrastructure bill from passing the House without a massive companion spending bill that Democrats hope to pass through reconciliation.
During an appearance on CNN's "State of the Union," Ocasio-Cortez told host Jake Tapper that if the Senate doesn't pass the reconciliation bill, the House "will uphold our end of the bargain and not pass the bipartisan bill until we get all of these investments in."
"So, we really need to see that language and see what's put in there ... when it reaches the House," Ocasio-Cortez told Tapper. "Bipartisan doesn't always mean that it's in the interests of the public good, frankly. Sometimes, there's a lot of corporate lobbyist giveaways in some of these bills."
Ocasio-Cortez said "a very large amount of the Progressive Caucus" in the House would oppose the bipartisan infrastructure package without the reconciliation bill.
"The total amount is about 90. I am not the whip of the Progressive Caucus," Ocasio-Cortez said. "But what I can tell you is that it's certainly more than three. And it is in the double digits, absolutely."
"Enough to prevent it from passing?" Tapper asked.
"More than enough," Ocasio-Cortez replied.
The progressive lawmaker also noted the "tight margin" in the Senate.

Ask her.
Is there even a bill or is it, like usual, just a number and they’ll fill in the blanks later? And what AOC really wants is amnesty. But what illegal alien would want citizenship. They already vote, they don’t pay taxes, they don’t have to worry about Jury Duty, they get welfare? They are treated better than any citizen.
Only in Democrapland can a bartender suddenly become an expert in finance, policing, crime prevention and an expert in atmospheric physics and that expertise in policing and crime prevention is working wonders in NYC........

She has a degree in international relations and economics plus she interned with Teddy Kennedy so you know she is qualified.
Bwa ha ha! I never heard about the international relations degree, but if she has a degree in economics I’m Santa Claus. This idiot doesn’t have the foggiest first idea of what economics even is. “Spend spend spend because money TOTALLY grows on trees!”
I remember when she was first elected some reporter asked her how she was going to get the money for all the crap she wanted like free college, free healthcare, and her brain warped and she said “just pay for it and you can have it”. Huh?? What? Oh OK genius, so that private plane and mansion I wanted, I can’t afford it but if I pay for it I can have it. OK got it.
There you have it, directly from the Real Speaker of the House.
Put in the bill no more reps seated without passing an IQ test.
Olafimihan Oshin. Unusual name.
The Teddy Kennedy School of Economics?
Idiot doesn’t know the Uniparty already has a deal to pass the “infrastructure” bill first.
